A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends $15,000 and looks sensational. On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the clerk, ‘I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?”.
?’About 32,’ is the reply.’
?‘Nope! I’m exactly 50,’ the woman says happily.
?A little while later she goes into McDonald’s and asks the counter girl the very same question.
?The girl replies, ‘I’d guess about 29.’ With a big smile, the woman replies, ‘Nope, I’m 50.’
?Now she’s feeling really good about herself. She stops at a candy shop on her way down the street.
?She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question.
?The clerk responds, ‘Oh, I’d say 30.’
?Again she proudly responds, ‘I’m 50, but thank you!’
?While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks Paddy, who is waiting next to her the same question.
?He replies, ‘ I will give it my best shot. But if I get it right, you pay me a thousand quid. ’
?They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, ‘What the hell, go ahead.’
Paddy looks at her, scratches his chin and gazes at her. He walks around her and nods his head and then stands back.
?After a couple of minutes of this, she says, ‘Okay, okay.....How old am I?’
Paddy completes one last gaze and says, ‘Madam, you are 50.’
?Stunned and amazed, the woman says, ‘That was incredible, how could you tell?’
?‘I was behind you at McDonalds’.
